tired of parenting

Ever since my little one arrived, my whole day feels like a blur of feeding, changing, burping, and rocking. By the time I sit down, it’s usually time to start all over again 😅. I didn’t realise how hard it would be to even find 10 minutes just for myself — sometimes I can’t even finish a cup of tea while it’s still hot! I’m curious, how do you carve out those little pockets of “me time” in your day? Even if it’s just a few minutes, what do you like to do that helps you recharge — a quick shower, scrolling your phone, a short walk, or something else? Would love to hear your tips so I can try them too. 💛

Get family to help. Husband, parents , in laws, siblings etc, basically anyone you trust. But close 2 eyes if they didnt seem to do things the way you want them done, else it'll just be hard on yourself. Also, your baby sounds very young..once he/she grows a bit older, the feeding/burping/coaxing to sleep/endless baby tasks will slowly but surely dwindle off. There will come a time when you will have your own time again. Hang in there!

Try to get some rest while bb is napping. Usually I just do things chop chop so can have some me time. When bb is awake I try to be as present as possible so he will feel the attention from me and as a result he is less needy and cry lesser. As a result I can have a bit more time to myself. Of coz getting family help or sourcing external help is another option jiayou.

1st 3 months is tough and tiring but it shall past.try to rest while baby is napping/or sleeping.a good bath was my me time when during post partum.of course if can seek help from parents or your spouse whenever possible.hang in there mummy!

I don't think it's enough to recharge during the time baby is sleeping.. Because there are so many things to do, especially if the baby is still young. If you are doing this alone, do get help if possible..
